The personal tricking re-inspiration.

[Reim]

It's sort of a love hate thing..

When you realize that for the last bit you haven't really been progressing much, definitely not as much as you'd like, and your spark is lit again. Like recently I've been injured and I've kind of been assessing where I'm at right now with my training, and how much other people have changed and progressed within the last little bit. I've pretty much made no progress in the longest time. I'd get few tricks here and there, but definitely not progressing as much as alot of people are. I was never that good to begin with, and I lost so much ground.

Although I haven't been around on the forums much lately, I've been watching, reading, and leaning so much while I heal. It really pumps me up to get healthy again and train really hard until I can win the technical approval of my peers. And think that this is one of the reasons why people should keep tricking. I'm so inspired to go out and train, and I'm so excited, I cant wait to see what I learn.

Expect to see stuff from em after I heal up. <3

I feel totally the same about the first bit. Every one around here seems to be able to trick for a year and throw some crazy shit. I can't believe how quickly some people progress. I'm pretty injured too, So I hope to come back strong :) Or try to any way lol.

I trick for a year and cannot do 540, and land 1/5 aerial and land 1/5 backtuck and can only do like feilong and btwist and basic kicks. I get depressed at times.

I know watcha mean.

I've gotten very technical and analytical with my tricking, which has helped me massively clean many things up and learn new things.

But I never push myself. Whenever I can't get something right in terms of landing it or just getting it to look how I want, I always go very analytical and look for every slightly problem that could be wrong and how to fix it. Well, this helps a lot. But I never just say "ok, why don't I just keep trying this until I get it." I always think, ok if I don't land this, I can't move on to this. No I don't think I'm ready for this yet, even if I know I am.
I fear the cycle repeating if I land a new trick but it isn't clean after a little while, because then I become discontent and have to work it or abandon it for a while until it's within my standards.

I personally need to stop putting limits on myself and start actually just trying to do stuff and learn it by pure will of mind haha. Just like in the good ol' days.

Yea, I can totally relate to that. But as for going against that.. it's kind of a double edged sword. I tried to get back into that state of mind, and here I am injured again.

Sounds like me for the last couple years, minus the injuries since I didn't have anything too significant there. Personal motivation to do this activity has been a huge yo-yo for me and the last 2 years have seen minimal progress. I'm looking forward to see where I go as well. My biggest battle has been persistence in regards to training. I'm simply not consistently motivated enough to do it.

Oh and the topic of state of mind. Yeah. I definetly lack the perspective I had when I first tricked. Once in a while I bring that back and that's when I see the most change.

Also Reim, I like you best when you aren't down on yourself too, haha. Even when you were, people liked your stuff. Sort of a lesson for myself now that I think about it. I was guilty of the same thing.

I know I keep telling you this, but your style is fast, powerful and intense. I love it. Keep it up bro.

Hey man, go get it. i just came back from an injury, maybe you just need to rest. Expecting some amazing things from you man!

[cepopeye]

haha whoo hoo for injuries! they are animportant part of tricking because they give us al a shot at redemtion! If before the injury we sucked, after the injury the slate is cleared and we can be like "i lost everything" and the old tricks don't matter. I finally gotinjured and i can't wait to see what i can do with my clean slate!

[Papa Lazarou]

Yeah, I just tricked today for the first time in yonks (a few months). I'm still a novice but coming back to it today the moves felt so effortless. Finally getting my 540 consistent as well! w00t!

[Reim]

lol, yonks?

[shengoikee]

this is pretty much exactly how i am right now. apart from i've been posting loads since i got injured haha

[Reim]

Yea, Ive been super busy with school, sadly..

[shengoikee]

ugh.. my last year was hell for that. i've got too much free time these days haha

this is an uplifting thread. it's always best to be optimistic about injuries. =)
